Guttation takes place through
A
Cuticle
B
Stomata
C
Lenticels
D
Hydathodes
Answer
Hydathodes
Explanation
Solution
The correct answer is (d) Hydathodes
Guttation is the loss of water that takes place in the form of dilute solution from the openings present on the margins of the leaves. It occurs through stomataor hydathodes, when the root pressure increases and the soil is well watered but humidity is high. Increased root pressure forces the xylem sap to move out of the specialized opening in the leaf margin.
Therefore, option (d) Hydathodes is the correct option.
